First he pulls out of the Barroso fight because he landed a shot at Flanagan. Now he pulls out again, and this time they admit it's fear. He's afraid of getting cut, getting hurt, maybe getting beat (slim chance). Not looking good. What if Flanagan gets a better offer? What if he gives Derry the Khan treatment and just leads him on and fights someone else?

Give up his WBA interim belt to fight for the WBO belt , and now he got no belt or title shot

Exactly i don't know what these 2 guys above are talking about. The Flanagan vs Mathews contracts were and are signed . Mathews has even managed to blag it in liverpool instead of Manchester. Him pulling out of the December fight was nothing. It would have probably had been a 8 rounder against a latino journeyman. Why risk a cut, broken bone or concussion and sabotage the whole show . Be safe then sorry. Derry has been prone to all 3 above.
